MOMMY MUST BE A FOUNTAIN OF FEATHERS is the first full-length English language edition of one of the foremost poets in Modern Korean poetry. In KIM HYESOON's saturated political fables, horror is packed inside cuteness, cuteness inside horror. Interior and exterior, political and intimate, human and animal, agent and victim become interchangeable, interbreeding elements. No subjecthood is fixed in this microscape of shifts, swellings, tender subjugations and acts of cruel selflessness. The poet's voice and language will be presented on tape and in person in translation by poet Don Mee Choi.
